The reference for accuracy testing is an N-200 oximeter and D-25 sensors that have been validated in
human blood studies against an Instrumentation Laboratories CO-Oximeter. Adult accuracy specification
is based on testing with D-25 sensors; neonatal accuracy specification is based on testing with N-25
sensors. For specifications with other NELLCOR sensors, see the sensor Directions for Use.
